Imperial White Marble Guardian Lions. Foo Dogs

This is a pair of white marble Chinese guardian lions, also known as Foo Dogs or Shishi. These are traditional Chinese sculptures that symbolize powerful, mystic guardians placed at the entrance of important buildings to protect the grounds and the people within. The statues are hand-carved, with the male lion typically holding a ball under his paw (representing the world), while the female lion holds a cub (representing nature or a nurturing spirit). The intricate detail and pristine white color are characteristic of high-quality marble carvings. They are often used in feng shui for protection and prosperity.
